Last reviewed August 2026. Windows are editorial ranges for a normal year, not a published schedule, and they are export weeks out of Peru rather than arrival weeks in your market.

Peru is the origin that turned a seasonal corridor into a year-round one. Blueberries built the lane out of Paita in the last decade, avocados sit on the opposite side of the calendar, and grapes and mangoes fill the Southern Hemisphere summer. The practical consequence for an importer is that Peru almost never goes quiet — but the individual windows are short, and missing three weeks of a peak is missing the programme.

Most of the reefer volume leaves through Callao, with Paita serving the northern growing regions — blueberries, grapes and mangoes from Piura and La Libertad. Pisco handles a smaller share. Which port a container leaves from matters more than it looks: the northern ports feed different services, and a box booked out of Paita is not interchangeable with one out of Callao when a vessel is skipped.

Avocado

April–August peak · March, September shoulder Varieties: Hass

Peru’s avocado window runs roughly April to August, opening in March and tailing off in September. It sits on the opposite side of the year from Peru’s blueberry programme, which is what keeps the corridor out of Callao busy year-round rather than seasonally idle.

Blueberry

September–December peak · January–February, August shoulder

Roughly September to February, peaking hard from October to December. This is the programme that built the reefer lane out of Paita, and it is the single busiest thing Peru ships.

Table grapes

December–February peak · March, November shoulder Varieties: Red Globe, Sweet Globe

Roughly December to March, opening in November. Peru’s grape window sits just ahead of Chile’s and overlaps with it, which is why a European buyer sees both origins on offer in January.

Mango

December–February peak · March, November shoulder Varieties: Kent

Roughly December to March out of Piura, shipping through Paita. Kent is the variety European buyers will see almost exclusively.

Mandarin

June–September peak · May, October shoulder

Roughly June to September, filling the gap when Northern Hemisphere citrus is out of season. Peru has moved steadily towards easy-peeler varieties for European retail.

Asparagus

September–December peak · January–August shoulder

Effectively year-round, with a clear volume peak from September to December. The coastal growing regions take two harvests a year, which is why the shoulder band below covers every remaining month rather than a few weeks either side of a season.
